Concordia University System Visiting
Student Program
This program allows and facilitates any student in good standing at one Concordia campus
to attend another Concordia campus for one semester or a full school year. During that
time, the student is still formally enrolled at Concordia University, Ann Arbor and would
not formally transfer. All credits and grades earned on the other campus are counted as if
they were earned at Ann Arbor. Tuition is determined by and paid to Concordia University,
Ann Arbor and financial aid is still arranged through this campus.
Room and board, if needed, is paid to the campus being visited at the rates established by
that “host” campus. Special fees may also need to be paid to the “host” campus.
Transportation must be arranged by the student.
Information about this program and about any of the other campuses is available from the
Office of the Registrar. Viewbooks, catalogs, course schedules, student handbooks, and
some videotapes are available to examine.
